OK. Thank you very much folks. A lot of very helpful advice.
I shall sleep on the suggestions, but at the moment I'm thinking I will soak it repeatedly in hot water until I can gently prise the base off. Having let the base dry I will then plane flat the face that adjoins the cabinet bottom. While this is going on I can repair the cabinet itself and re-glue the joints. Fortunately I do have sash clamps and G-clamps etc.
Once done, I am very tempted NOT to re-glue the base to the cabinet, just allow the screws to hold it in place.
